I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving! As I promised, I will be sharing some of my Thanksgiving recipes with you starting now. First up is my all-time favorite, Mashed Sweet Potatoes (sometimes referred to as Sweet Potato Casserole). Starting about 10 years ago I tried to find the perfect recipe to use, but after never finding exactly what I wanted in a recipe I developed my own using things I like from a variety of others. A traditional Sweet Potato Casserole has eggs which doesn't fit in with my prep the night before but cook the day of approach and most mashed recipes are just that, mashed sweet potatoes and not much to be added.

Transfer mixture to baking pan and cook in oven at 350 degrees for 1 hr prior to serving.

Optional - with 15 minutes left in the oven add marshmallows to top of sweet potatoes (sometimes I put on half of the dish since some people don't like the marshmallows). In the picture above, I also added a cornflake/brown sugar mixture for a crunchy topping. This Thanksgiving it was just served straight up in a serving bowl like this:
